Ikhadi, 73, kanye nomyeni wakhe, uGreg Grace, 75, baphuthuma ebhange labo eRegina, eSaskatchewan, futhi bakhipha amadola aseCanada angu-3,000 ($2,207 ngemali yase-US), inani eliphakeme losuku. Baphuthuma egatsheni lesibili beyofuna enye imali. Kepha umphathi webhange wabadonsela ehhovisi lakhe: Omunye umxhasi uthole ucingo olufanayo futhi wathola ukuthi izwi elinembe ngendlela exakile lalingumbombayi, iKhadi likhumbula umnikazi webhange esho. Lo mlisa ocingweni cishe kwakungeyena umzukulu wabo.
Kulapho-ke abona khona ukuthi bakhohlisiwe.
“Singenelwe,” kusho uKhadi engxoxweni abe nayo neWashington Post. “Besiqiniseka ukuthi sikhuluma noBrandon.”
Njengoba imikhonyovu yokuzenza ongeyena ikhula e-United States, ubunzima bekhadi bubonisa ukuthambekela okukhathazayo. Ubuchwepheshe benza kube lula futhi kushibhile kukho abadlali ababi ukulingisa amazwiekholisa abantu, ngokuvamile asebekhulile, ukuthi abathandekayo babo basosizini. Ngo-2022, imikhonyovu yabakhohlisi yayingeyesibili ethandwa kakhulu eMelika, ngemibiko engaphezu kuka-36,000 yabantu. ukhwabaniswe yilabo abazenza abangani nomndeni, ngokusho idatha evela ku-Federal Trade Commission. Izigameko ezingaphezu kuka-5,100 zalezo zigameko zenzeke ngocingo, zenza imali engaphezu kuka-$11 million ekulahlekeni, kusho izikhulu ze-FTC.
Intuthuko kwezobuhlakani bokwenziwa yengeze isendlalelo esisha esesabekayo, esivumela abadlali abangalungile ukuthi phindaphinda izwi ngesampula nje yomsindo yemisho embalwa. Inikwa amandla yi-AI, a amathuluzi ashibhile aku-inthanethi angahumusha ifayela elilalelwayo libe umfuziselo wezwi, okuvumela umkhohlisi ukuthi alenze “likhulume” noma yini eliyibhalayo.
Ochwepheshe bathi abalawuli benhlangano, abomthetho kanye nezinkantolo azihlomele kahle ukulawula lo mkhonyovu oshubile. Iningi lezisulu linemikhondo embalwa yokuhlonza umenzi wobubi futhi kunzima ngamaphoyisa ukulandelela izingcingo kanye nezimali ezivela kubakhwabanisi abasebenza emhlabeni wonke. Futhi kunesibonelo esincane esingokomthetho sokuthi izinkantolo zibambe izinkampani ezenza amathuluzi ziphendule ngokusetshenziswa kwazo.
“Kuyesabeka,” kusho uHany Farid, uprofesa wezobunhloli bedijithali eNyuvesi yaseCalifornia eBerkeley. “Uhlobo lwesivunguvungu esihle kakhulu … [with] zonke izithako ozidingayo ukudala isiphithiphithi.”
Nakuba imikhonyovu yabakhohlisi iza ngezindlela eziningi, empeleni isebenza ngendlela efanayo: umkhohlisi uzenza umuntu onokwethenjelwa – ingane, isithandwa noma umngane – futhi uqinisekisa isisulu ukuthi sibathumelele imali ngoba sisosizini.
Kodwa ubuchwepheshe bezwi obusungulwe ngokuzenzisa benza leli qhinga likholeke ngokwengeziwe. Izisulu zibika ukusabela ngokwesabekayo kwe-visceral lapho zizwa ababathandayo besengozini.
Kungumphumela omnyama we ukukhuphuka kwakamuva kubuhlakani bokwenziwa obukhiqizayo, obusekela isoftware edala imibhalo, izithombe noma imisindo esuselwe kudatha ephakelwayo. Intuthuko emandleni wezibalo namandla wekhompuyutha ithuthukise izindlela zokuqeqesha zesoftware enjalo, okukhuthaze inqwaba yezinkampani ukuthi zikhiphe ama-chatbots, abadali bezithombe nabenzi bezwi abakhona nempilo eyinqaba.
Isofthiwe ye-AI ekhiqiza izwi ihlaziya ukuthi yini eyenza izwi lomuntu lihluke – okuhlanganisa iminyaka, ubulili nendlela yokuphimisa – futhi isesha isizindalwazi samazwi ukuze ithole afanayo futhi ibikezele amaphethini, kusho uFarid.
Ingakwazi ke ukudala kabusha iphimbo, ukhuni kanye nemisindo ngayinye yezwi lomuntu ukuze kwakhe umphumela ofanayo ofanayo, wengeza. Kudinga isampula emfushane yomsindo, ethathwe ezindaweni ezifana ne-YouTube, ama-podcasts, ezentengiso, i-TikTok, i-Instagram noma amavidiyo we-Facebook, kusho uFarid.
“Eminyakeni emibili edlule, ngisho nonyaka odlule, ubudinga umsindo omningi ukuze uhlanganise izwi lomuntu,” kusho uFarid. “Manje …
Izinkampani ezifana ne-ElevenLabs, isiqalo sezwi se-AI esasungulwa ngo-2022, siguqula isampula elifushane lezwi libe yizwi elenziwe ngokwenziwa. ngethuluzi lokuguqula umbhalo ube inkulumo. Isoftware ye-ElevenLabs ingaba mahhala noma ibize phakathi kuka-$5 no-$330 ngenyanga ukuyisebenzisa, ngokwesizangezintengo eziphakeme ezivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bakhiqize umsindo owengeziwe.
I-ElevenLabs iqhuma ezindabeni kulandela ukugxekwa kwethuluzi layo, elisetshenziswe ukuphindaphinda amazwi osaziwayo besho izinto abangakaze bazenze, njengo-Emma Watson ngokuqamba amanga ephindaphinda iziqephu ze-“Mein Kampf” ka-Adolf Hitler. I-ElevenLabs ayizange ibuyise isicelo sokuphawula, kodwa kuchungechunge lwe-Twitter inkampani ithe ihlanganisa izivikelo zokunqanda ukusetshenziswa kabi, okuhlanganisa ukuvimbela abasebenzisi bamahhala ekudaleni amazwi angokwezifiso kanye nokwethula ithuluzi lokuthola umsindo okhiqizwe yi-AI.
Kodwa izivikelo ezinjalo sezephuze kakhulu kuzisulu ezinjengoBenjamin Perkin, abazali bazo asebekhulile abalahlekelwa izinkulungwane zamaRandi ngenxa yomkhonyovu wezwi.
Iphupho lakhe elibi laqala ngesikhathi abazali bakhe bethola ucingo oluvela kosolwa ngommeli, ethi indodana yabo ibulale isikhulu saseMelika engozini yemoto. UPerkin wayesejele futhi edinga imali yezindleko zezomthetho.
Ummeli wafaka uPerkin, 39, ocingweni, wathi uyabathanda, uyabazisa futhi uyayidinga imali. Emahoreni ambalwa kamuva, ummeli waphinda wabiza abazali bakaPerkin, ethi indodana yabo idinga u-$21,000 ($15,449) ngaphambi kosuku lwenkantolo kamuva ngalolo suku.
Abazali bakaPerkin kamuva bamtshela ukuthi ucingo lwalubonakala lungajwayelekile, kodwa abakwazanga ukunyakazisa umuzwa wokuthi bakhulume ngempela nendodana yabo.
Izwi lizwakale “lisondele ngokwanele ukuze abazali bami bakholwe ngempela ukuthi bakhulume nami,” esho. Esimeni sabo sokwesaba, baphuthuma emabhange amaningana ukuze bathole ukheshi futhi bathumele ummeli imali nge-terminal bitcoin.
Lapho uPerkin wangempela ebiza abazali bakhe ngalobo busuku ukuze ayongena nje, badideka.
Akukacaci ukuthi abakhohlisi balithathephi izwi, nakuba uPerkin ethumele amavidiyo e-YouTube ekhuluma ngomsebenzi wakhe wokuhamba eqhweni. Umndeni ufake umbiko wamaphoyisa kuziphathimandla zaseCanada, kusho uPerkin, kodwa lokho akuzange kuyibuyise imali.
“Imali isihambile,” kusho yena. “Awukho umshwalense. Akukho ukuyithola. Ihambile.”
UWill Maxson, umsizi womqondisi ophikweni lwezentengiso lwe-FTC, uthe ukulandela umkhonyovu “kungaba nzima kakhulu” ngoba kungenzeka ukuthi basebenzise ucingo olusekelwe noma kuphi emhlabeni, okwenza kube nzima ngisho ukukhomba ukuthi iyiphi i-ejensi enegunya phezu kwefoni. icala elithile.
UMaxson unxuse ukuthi bahlale beqaphile. Uma othandekayo ekutshela ukuthi udinga imali, vala ucingo bese uzama ukushayela ilungu lomndeni wakho ngokuhlukene, esho. Uma ikholi esolisayo ivela enombolweni yelungu lomndeni, qonda ukuthi lokho nakho kungakhohlisa. Ungalokothi ukhokhe abantu ngamakhadi esipho, ngoba lawo akunzima ukuwalandela, wengeza, futhi qaphela noma yiziphi izicelo zemali.
U-Eva Velasquez, oyisikhulu esiphezulu se-Identity Theft Resource Centre, uthe kunzima kwabomthetho ukuthi balandele amasela asebenzisa izwi. UVelasquez, ochithe iminyaka engu-21 eHhovisi Lommeli Wesifunda saseSan Diego ephenya ngokukhwabanisa kwabathengi, uthe iminyango yamaphoyisa kungenzeka ingabi nayo imali eyanele kanye nabasebenzi bokuxhasa uphiko oluzinikele ekulandeleni ukukhwabanisa.
Iminyango emikhulu kufanele isebenzise izinsiza emacaleni angaxazululeka, esho. Izisulu zemikhonyovu yezwi zingase zingabi nolwazi oluningi ezinganikeza amaphoyisa ukuze aphenye, okwenza kube nzima ukuthi izikhulu zinikele isikhathi esiningi noma amandla ezisebenzi, ikakhulukazi ukulahlekelwa okuncane.
“Uma ungenalo ulwazi ngakho,” kusho yena. “Baqala kuphi?”
UFarid uthe izinkantolo kufanele zibophe izinkampani ze-AI uma imikhiqizo eziyenzayo iholela ekulimaleni. Izazi zezomthetho, ezifana neJaji Lenkantolo Ephakeme u-Neil M. Gorsuch, zathi ngoFebhuwari ukuthi ukuvikelwa kwezomthetho okuvikela amanethiwekhi omphakathi emacaleni kungase kungasebenzi emsebenzini owenziwe yi-AI.
Ekhadini, isipiliyoni simenze waqapha kakhulu. Ngonyaka odlule, ukhulume nephephandaba langakubo, iRegina Leader-Post, ukuxwayisa abantu ngale mikhonyovu. Ngenxa yokuthi akazange alahlekelwe yimali, akazange abike emaphoyiseni.
Ngaphezu kwakho konke, uthe, uzizwa enamahloni.
“Bekungeyona indaba ekholisayo,” kusho yena. “Kodwa bekungafanele kube ngcono kunalokho obekuyikho ukusikholisa.”
